Toledo time (Spain, Day 3)

It's safe to say we've been walking a lot this trip. In fact my fitbit dashboard keeps giving me tons of smiley faces whenever I get back online. More walking = more tapas I say! Today was no exception as we headed out of Madrid to Toledo on a day trip. At just 20-25 mins away on the high speed train this was on my list of must visit places when we were planning the holiday. (Full confession my wonderful hubby planned the whole thing - I just turned up). I think I kind of fell in love with Toledo when we first stepped off the train and wandered over the bridge into town. I knew I was going to love very minute of our day. While I've loved being in Madrid I have to say my heart kind of melts at smaller towns and cities. Must have something to do with growing up in a small town. Toledo is just that - a small town with a wealth of history. It's a town made for walking.

#adventuresincooking - a great side

It's summer here right now in Australia which means lots of BBQ's and lots of salads. I've found a new one which I originally got from the Faking It cookbook by the ABC. In the cook book it's featured as a side for a cajun spiced fish - and it's fantastic that way, but I've been using it as a salad when we have BBQ's of meat or fish as a primary side along with some asparagus or capsicum. Without giving the whole recipe away it's pretty easy to make - tomatoes, avocado, corn, coriander and red onion forming the main ingredients. The sauce is a little surprising, but again super simple. I'm thinking I might add some black beans and chilli to this and turn it into a meal on it's own next. Do you think that will work?
